Comfort Keepers® Awarded Accreditation Status by Accreditation Canada

Accreditation is an intensive process in which an organization’s processes, policies, and procedures are examined by industry experts against a set of quality standards.

The standards that achieving accredited status are based upon include Client Safety, Infection Prevention and Control, Employee Safety, and Healthy Work/Life Balance among others.

Achieving accreditation provides Comfort Keeper’s clients, their family, and loved ones with the assurance that they are receiving the best care possible.
